Heatshield Poncho

Stay warm, dry and visible when conditions turn. The Lifesystems Heatshield Poncho reflects up to 90% of your radiated body heat to retain vital warmth, while forming a windproof and waterproof barrier against wind and rain. Unlike a traditional foil survival blanket, it's worn as a poncho, so you get hands-free thermal protection and full freedom of movement, and it stays quiet rather than crinkling with every step. A genuinely practical piece of emergency kit, and DofE Recommended.

• Reflects up to 90% of body heat using metallised low-density polyethylene to retain warmth in a sudden cold or emergency.
• Windproof and waterproof to shield you from wind chill and rain when the weather turns.
• Hands-free poncho design that lets you keep moving and can be worn over or under clothing.
• Quiet and tear-resistant, reusable rather than a single-use foil sheet.
• High-visibility orange and radar reflective to help search and rescue locate you, and usable for emergency signalling.
• Printed survival guidance on the poncho for clear instruction in a high-stress situation.

Lightweight at 86g and packing down small, it slips into a daypack, hill bag or glovebox so it's there when you need it. As British search and rescue teams advise, it's worth carrying emergency warmth on every walk, whatever the forecast.
